I like brisket when it is smoked well, but I don’t really consider it BBQ. It’s as much BBQ as smoked turkey.

Thanks for this recipe BGB. I think I'm gonna try this one out.

ETA: What brand mayo do you prefer. I like Duke's, but would be willing to try what you use in your recipe.


I use Dukes. Which I think that's where the brown sugar works a bit because Dukes is naturally a more vinegary mayo versus others that may be more mild/sweeter.

Undercooked brisket is really tough

Overcooked is dry but falls apart pretty easy

For example I never order a steak from waffle house, I'm there for the patty melt and hashbrowns


If you have never had the steak and eggs from Waffle House, how do you know it isn’t the best thing on the menu?

Steak and eggs at 2 am at the Waffle House across from Flora Bama may have saved my life a few times back in the day.

And where do you think you can normally order beef brisket other than barbecue joints?

I’m just here to say that I love pork and beef. I don’t discriminate.

Because there is no way in hell Waffle House is buying high quality meat and they cook it on a griddle.

I don’t think most people have the expectation for prime beef at waffle house. But whatever it is, the steak and eggs at Waffle House at the Flora Bama at 2 am is as good as any of the Texas brisket I have ever had. Maybe it is just the ambiance. I don’t doubt that Waffle House steaks are not the highest quality. But this whole thread is about how to make a trash cut of beef palatable. Waffle House has figured it out. Many barbecue joints have not. Maybe that is the secret to good brisket, get really drunk before eating it.

Almost perfect, the only thing missing is the McRib somewhere between “Gas Grill” and “Grilled Chinese food”.

There are a lot of places that offer bad brisket, some that offer good and about 3 in Texas that I would consider superior.
Truly great brisket is only available at my house on my pit...and only a few of you fvckers would be invited.

Well that is what I mean. Your expectations are based on where you are eating.

I'm very picky about steaks and if someone asked about great steaks I doubt Waffle House is high on the list. If I did eat a Waffle House steak my expectations are not going to be high.

I just hate the regional crap as if somehow things cook differently by state, or like there are certain laws by state on methods.

The best bbg is a whole pig cooked over open coals, brisket can't hold a candle to that

From this thread I have learned there are about 25 people in the world who are capable of preparing delicious, melt in your mouth beef brisket. I hope one day to be fortunate enough to sample their work.

I almost said this was one of the earliest off-season BBQ threads, yet. But I forgot there was still a game left.

Proof that these damn playoffs are too drawn out.

Some of the best brisket I had was in Oxford, MS at a gas station adjacent BBQ place called B's.

They are bit proud of it based on price per slice, but still very good. Also, one of the best breakfasts in Oxford, as well. Skip chicken on a stick on your next trip there, as there are much better gas station food options.
